In the Morning Silence Have the mountains yet echoed: “Extirpate Love from living” Or the trees among the hills pronounce: “Love no longer conquers all”? Or the rhythmic beating of two hearts pressed together with faith utter: “Living is the end of us, long live death”? Fear in living is not an option; silence cannot be heard; and darkness cannot be seen without light to secede the difference. What good are tears to a dry gulch? What transparent quality exist if even purest love despoils the living? Where is that line to traverse? And who, pray tell, can strike it with ease? We are born of love and to love we do surrender. Not death, nor despondent living, but love... Yet this morning - the silence is deafening… ___________________________________________ Thomas, because thou hast seen me, thou hast believed: |

JL~ 'We are born of love and to love we do surrender. Not death, nor despondent living, but love... Yet this morning - the silence is deafening…' There is a soft silence here that clings to my thoughts~ *Huglets* ![]() ~*Marge*~ ~*The sound of a kiss is not as strong as that of a cannon, but it's echo endures much longer*~ |
